to everyone/deryk.
the problem is the listeners listening environment has changed.
i dont know anyone who once had fancy expensive hi end hi fi stereo systems useing them anymore.
put it down to the celphone/tablet phenom.
maybe the odd person here and there uses one.
but if you go down the street in any city , everyone is bopping to earbuds.
same in peoples homes.

the other conundrum is ive known people use very hi end studio monitors to mix on, in wonderfull control/mix rooms, but the mix might not translate to lower end playback systems.
and these people ive known in the past were very very experienced. would put me in the shade
experience wise.
thus its very difficult for us mere mortals. lol.

try a well recorded classic song on dollar store buds .
sadly thats what a lot of people listen on these days.
i call them "sizzlers". lol.
its a shame really. creators put so much effort into high
quality product , only to be listened to on sizzlers.


Somehow I don’t think the vinyl craze folks are listening on buds smile It depends on your “market” — I know a LOT of folks of varying ages who listen on new and vintage audio systems. Nowadays we can all choose our music bubble to live in and in our Americana rootsy bubble many folks are indeed listening via their mobile device ... but streaming it to a good home or car system.

I mean no disrespect to the massive earbud crowd and am only mentioning that there are many other albeit smaller crowds who listen via buds only when no other option is available. Like us when we are mountain biking!
